You Never

You never said I’m leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,

It broke my heart to lose you
But you didn’t go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

Until we meet again, may God Hold you in the palm of his hand.

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, May good luck pursue you each morning and night.
